Does anyone know where I can find an "After Market" rear brake caliper that will fit the 2003 DS-650 Baja? I've got to change mine as the brakes SUCK! I'm changing the pads on Friday and de-glazing the rotor. What else can I do.

The bike is like brand new and maybe has 4 hours total riding time. So it's not tlike it's a 1990 model that has been trashed. Talking to the dealer is like pissing up a rope, you get no where because it's out of warranty. I'm not new to the ATV & Racing scene. I've riden bikes since the 70's and I've owned 6 ATV's so I do know a good brake from a bad brake. I'm a senior citizen that doesn't want to get killed because my brakes failed!

The peddle is hard and firm and the Caliper pistons are not stuck. It just won't stop for beans! I know I'm used to Banshee brakes. But this is terrible!

I need your help!

i have two ds's and have probably rode 25 other ds maybe more and i have never felt that any of them have had any kind of rear brake issue and seems yours is the first that i have heard of. if the rotor is glazed do you think if you replaced the rotor and pads it might help? i read where you put two brake levers together, and i'm sure the problem is something else. sorry to hear you have a bad dealer, for stock parts i get mine at tvi 503-648-1254 or there is a local dealer that can get me parts if i know what i want it seems most things ordered from bomb take three days to get to oregon. well i'm not sure there is any after market brake caliper. rad axle makes a rotor..
